Foundry cast bronze horse head sculpture, edition of only 9 worldwide.
Captivating, powerful and free. Yet trusting, curious and accepting.
They see into our souls and reflect who we are back to us.
We feel a surge of love at the mere sight of them - their pricked ears and bright eyes welcoming us into their space like long lost friends.
When things are tough, they understand and bring us calm. The mere smell is aromatherapy, the rhythmic munching of hay soothes us. They give us a safe space - listening without judgment and showing us what pure unconditional love is.
They give us so much - enriching our lives and shaping us as humans.
This bright eyed, pricked eared sculpture is how I picture a horse in my mind’s eye.
This edition #1 of only 9 has a classic Verdigris patina reminiscent of ancient forests – the turquoise and teal contrasting with the warmth of the bronze changing in the light.

What is bronze?
Bronze is a metal alloy mostly made up of copper.
Mass-produced bronzes often skimp on the copper content and use tin, lead, and iron instead which leave the sculptures open to corrosion and breakages.
The bronze used for my sculptures contain a high copper content of 96%, along with 1% manganese and 3% silicon. The added silicon strengthens the sculptures, although it makes the process more challenging and costly for the foundry.
What's the difference between hot and cold cast bronze?
Hot or cold?
Cold cast bronze refers to sculptures made with resin and moulds, sometimes finished with bronze powder to mimic the look of a genuine bronze sculpture.
Hot cast Bronze involves creating a mold from the original sculpture, followed by the creation of a wax copy. The wax piece is then dipped multiple times in a ceramic coating, creating a sturdy shell. This is then heated in a kiln to melt the wax. Molten bronze can then be poured into the ceramic shell.
Once cooled, the ceramic shell is removed, and the sculpture is assembled and perfected. The finishing touches involve patination to create beautiful surfaces, followed by a seal of hot wax that gives the sculpture its sheen and protects the surface from the elements.
Provenance
Can you trace the sculpture’s journey from the artist to your hands?
Look for sculptures made in the UK by reputable foundries, as they proudly put their name to their work. And for your peace of mind and future valuation, you’ll receive a signed certificate of authentication alongside your bronze sculpture.
Limited editions.
The number of pieces in an edition directly impacts their exclusivity and value.
Higher edition numbers indicate less exclusivity, while lower numbers make each piece more sought after.
How do I look after my bronze?
I personally recommend enjoying my bronze sculptures indoors to keep them looking their best. A wipe over with a clean, soft, dry cloth is all that’s needed.
Due to the organic nature of bronze, it will, over time darken. In areas where it is rubbed by hands it may eventually show the original bronze through any patina. This becomes part of the piece's story.
